Years ago I had aanager who was really into road biking. Without going into detail, he came off his bike and took a hard hit to his head. He was wearing a helmet (and it would have been a good one, like most people into the sport do) but still had brain damage. He’s very lucky that he made a full recovery. If he had no helmet he would be dead.

Like that killdozer where some dude (farmer? Can’t remember) bought a bulldozer and fortified it and welded himself inside. He didn’t go on a killing rampage, he had beef with the city and squashed loads of buildings.
As you said it came to an end when he couldn’t move it. I think he got it stuck rather than running out of gas.

- Comment on British cyclist refused £15k payout because thieves ‘weren’t violent enough’ 2 weeks ago:
I live in a flat but lucky enough to have a small concrete brick shed, it’s not near the flat so it’s a concern. I have two expensive bikes, both insured and locked according to the insurance requirements, plus some. A mix of diamond and gold standard locks and ground anchors. Two locks on the shed door and each bike is separatly chained to anchors.
Yes they’re insured but I’d rather not have to claim!
This girl’s parents should take more time to understand their insurance. I feel sorry for them, but they have learnt a costly lesson.

This is seriously fucked up. I wonder if any of the US security in this video is from the anti-islamic biker gang
- Comment on Could VPNs be banned in the UK? We asked the experts 5 weeks ago:
Age checks on buying a VPN is probably how they’ll move this forward. Same situation as the age checks in porn. Use a VPN to download a VPN.
There’s no way, as the article says, to identify which traffic is a legit business on or a private one.
Also, I think, a proxy will achieve the same goal for appearing in another country. Sure it’s not private but the gov are looking at VPN specifically.

I never knew about this. Is this the same gene which makes people like/dislike bitter foods?
Years ago at a place I worked at, food manufacturers, the R&D team did a taste workshop. 5 cups of flavours, salt, bitter, water, umami, sweet. The bitter one just tasted of water to me. They called it “bitter blind”

Maybe an age thing? When I was a kid nobody cared untill be got an expensive new carpet. My mum still doesn’t care. I take my shoes off at the door and she says I can leave them on if I like.

And mental health. When I was unemployed for quite some time when I was younger it’s a horrid hole to be in. The “why bother with anything” mentally easily takes over.

- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 3 months ago:
Thanks for sharing, that was an interesting read.
We are genetically built by the decisions our ancestors made. As far as I know everybody can eat cereal grain, that was a massive challenge for our ancestors who until then we’re meat eaters. I can eat dairy products, a lot of people from other areas cannot, like my wife who is from Asia.
Off topic, but I find it fascinating, animals create their own vitamin c but humans don’t. I read it’s from an evolutionary mutation where our genes for vit c got turned off.

As well as regional factors. They both grow in totally different environments.

You worded that very well. I don’t like people calling out generations like this but struggle on making a well formed reply.
Also it’s odd that they lack the understanding that one day their generation will be the old one and they will be subject to blame. Unless people just stop doing it!
- Comment on I'm there! 3 months ago:
That sounds really good. Just sent the kids/family one to my wife.
There’s so much fun stuff to engage in with kids. I became a dad in my mid 30’s and now realise how much fun stuff there is out there, not just for kids, stuff I didn’t know about until I was a dad.
Organised mushroom hunts, forest walks, science activity centres, family friendly caves, ancient technology centres, so much more.

And from what I have heard on science podcasts, the moon is, and has been, and still will be, moving away from the earth. Making the perfect solar eclipse only for a segment of the earth’s history.

I wonder if there were two buttons, one for the shock, and another which gives them something more rewarding. I wonder how fast or slow they give up on the more rewarding response because that too becomes boring. I suppose like a song that sounds great at first but you hate it after x times

- Comment on Introverts Rock 4 months ago:
That was the same for me. I didn’t realise I had high anxiety especially around people interaction. I just went with what people told me, that I’m introverted. It took me way too long to figure this out and I only did so because my anxiety was getting worse and about more things. Once I was on medication I realised holy shit, I needed this like 20 years ago!
I’m now able to join clubs, meet in large groups. But like you it’s now a choice. I generally do the social thing then leave or take some time out when batteries are low.

That happened to me, but it’s a block in the town centre. Houses next door, full on broadband. Flat, nope. BT lines. Connection wasn’t very stable. I gave up on it and bought a 5G broadband hub. It works amazing.
